Voltage Regulators-Linear is an electronic device used to convert an unstable DC voltage into a stable DC voltage. It regulates the voltage through an active component (such as a transistor or field effect tube) and a feedback network to ensure that the output voltage remains constant within a certain range. Linear regulators usually operate under low input voltage changes and load changes, and are able to provide a very clean and smooth output voltage.

Voltage Regulators-Linear has a wide range of applications, covering almost all electronic devices requiring a stable DC power supply. In the field of consumer electronics, linear voltage regulators are widely used in mobile phones, tablets, laptops and other portable devices to provide stable voltage support for core components such as processors, memory and display screens. In the field of industrial automation and instrumentation, linear voltage regulators are often used in precision measuring instruments, sensor signal processing and other occasions because of their low noise and high precision characteristics. In addition, linear regulators also play an indispensable role in areas such as medical equipment, aerospace, and automotive electronics, where the quality of the power supply is extremely high. For example, in medical equipment, linear regulators ensure the power stability of devices such as pacemakers and monitors, ensuring the safety of patients.

• 1. What is a linear regulator?

  A linear regulator is an electronic device that is primarily used to maintain a specified output voltage stable when the input voltage or load conditions change. It is an important component in electronics that acts as a buffer to protect the components of the circuit from damage. A linear regulator works by using an active device (such as a BJT or MOSFET) controlled by a high-gain amplifier, using the variable conductivity of the active pass device to maintain the output voltage. This regulator acts as a voltage divider to produce a regulated output voltage, where a linear element (such as a resistive load) is used to regulate the output voltage. The transistor stays in its active region of operation during voltage regulation. To maintain a constant output voltage, the internal resistance can be varied, providing a variable resistance by using a transistor controlled by the amplifier feedback loop.
  A linear regulator is also called a buck converter, where the output voltage is always

• 2. How to choose a linear regulator?

  1. Switching regulator: A switching regulator uses an output stage that repeatedly switches between "on" and "off" states to generate an output voltage together with an energy storage component. Its adjustment is achieved by adjusting the switching timing based on the feedback sample of the output voltage. In a fixed-frequency regulator, the switching timing is adjusted by adjusting the pulse width of the switching voltage, which is called PWM control.
  2. Parameter regulator: LDO is a linear regulator. Linear regulators use transistors or FETs operating in their linear region to subtract excess voltage from the applied input voltage to produce a regulated output voltage. This transistor allows saturation, so the regulator can have a very low dropout voltage, usually around 200mV.
  3. Regulators for laser cutting machines: According to the use requirements of high-power laser cutting machines and the current power supply situation in my country, regulators that meet

• 3. What is the difference between a linear regulator and a resistor?

  Linear regulators and resistors have significant differences in function, working principle and application scenarios.
  Function and working principle:
  A linear regulator is an electronic device that achieves a stable voltage output by adjusting linear elements (such as resistors, transistors, etc.) in the circuit. It uses the negative feedback principle. When the input voltage changes, the regulator senses this change and adjusts the parameters of the circuit elements (such as the resistance value or the conduction state of the transistor) accordingly to keep the output voltage stable within the required range. Linear regulators can provide lower output noise and fluctuations, and have better responsiveness to load changes.
  Resistors are a basic electronic component used to limit current and divide voltage. It works by hindering the flow of current, has a fixed resistance value, and does not have the function of adjusting the output voltage.
  Application scenarios:
